I'm a busy bee, I'm working on 101 hair-flowers as we speak.Had like 5 hair-flowers left after High Rockabilly so I justhad to make more.Bought a ton of beautiful flowers in Spain and couldn't waitto get home and start gluing again.

I feel like I'm way behind when it comes to update this blog.I'm gonna stop saying that I will do this and that because inthe end I really need to be in the right mood to do it.

Went to a couple of car boot sales on the weekend just gonebut didn't have the energy to post pictures at the time.Here are my latest (vintage) finds...

OK, I'm sorry, I'm too tired today too.Seems like it takes forever for me to recover from the flu andall the traveling. The smallest task feels too huge right now.

I've been to the tattooist today.I only have one sitting left but I'm gonna wait until all the up-coming Jewish high holidays are over before I have it finished.It's getting there...Sorry, no pictures until it's all done.

I can tell you one thing that happened while I was in Spain Ifell in love. In a French Bulldog that is.Now I want both a Bull Terrier and a French Bulldog. *smirk*(Still haven't found THE Bull Terrier at the re-homing sites.)

I'm back home.I have too much to do today and I'm too tired and irritated(two customers haven't received their items) so I reallydon't feel like telling you the full story about my adventuresin Spain, you'll have to wait until tomorrow.Sorry...

If you can't wait and want to see some pictures, feel free tohave a look in my High Rockabilly album on myspace.(I haven't had the time to upload them all yet.)

I don't have anything to wear!There, I said it.I'm packing and I hate it, really, really hate it.I have tons of beautiful vintage dresses but they are toobig or way too formal to bring to Spain. *sigh*I got tons of bikinis and I have a bunch of really nice shortsand tops to wear around the pool and on the beach but only3 "exotic" dresses for the evenings, I need 2 more.I want but can't really bring one of my favorite dresses thatBernie Dexter gave me as a present way back when, I wore iton Hemsby last year and I'm afraid that it would get Sangriastains on it.No, I'm not that type of girl who wears the same dress twiceon one weekender.I wish I knew how to do magic...

Can I wear a black tight Galaxy dress if I put red flowers inmy hair to make it look more "flamenco"?

I'm so fed up with hair-flowers so if I have to glue anotherhair-flower I will friggin' puke! I mean it!I now have a huge stock to sell in Spain, maybe too hugebut what I don't sell in Spain I will sell on Tradera.I also been a good housewife, did 3 loads of laundry andvacuumed the house.

We just finished one hour of jiving.I'm literary sweating my ass off!We had to change the whole routine a bit since my mancan't use both of his hands after his surgery.I think we did good anyway...

I got tons of stuff I need to do before Spain today andI'm now getting into the zone to do them.(That means that I just had a proper cup of coffee.)The thing I want and need the most is a good kick upthe ass to do some more hair-flowers and finish somesewing projects.

Friday night was great.We were on the guest list, of course...I ended up wearing a pair of red tartan pants that wasreally flattering for my behind and a pair of punky 7 inchstripper heels, lots of makeup and wild hair.The best performance of the night was the one man show,D-66, that guy was awesome!There was also two burlesque dancers there, I didn't careat all for the skinny blonde but the raven plus size girl wasdelicious!I tried to find her website but still no result, I will post alink if I get hold of her.

I got my hearing aid today!It's feels very strange to hear stuff I couldn't hear before.I don't like it but I guess it will take some time to get usedto it.

I'm in the process of dolling up for the night.We're going out to The Trailer Pussy Show to see ourfriends The Mojokings and The Caravans play.I'm thinking about wearing something really punky/sluttybut with class, of course.What about 7 inch heels and a very tight pencil skirt?

I have plans to don't give a damn tonight and get rowdyfor once and maybe even have a drink or two.

And I have had this song stuck on my brain the entire day.(Don't ask...)

We're now booked for Hemsby 41.We're gonna share chalet with the two legendary neo-rockabillybands Dave Phillips & The Hot Rod Gang and Restless, in otherwords, it's gonna be one hell of a party!I wish that my lovely friend Miss Wink could come over for thisone, she would me mighty popular with that crowd. *smirk*Everyone of my man's friends asks me if I've got a twin or at leasta friend as nice and pretty as me.I can't blame them, who wouldn't want a curvy Swedish bird?

I'm in a funk at the moment.I don't feel like my happy and creative self at all.I tried to make more hair-flowers today but I justcouldn't stand the fiddle.Very frustrating since I want to finish some customorders before we go to Spain next week.

Even the car boot sales that we went to on Saturdayfelt like a huge task and I had a mild panic attack ata gig on Sunday.

Now let me change the subject just a little...I'm gonna tell you about one lucky coincidence thatoccurred last week.I had just made a bunch of big yellow hair-flowersto sell in Spain and on Tradera.As I was searching for pictures of the Andrew Sistersfor another project I stumbled on a picture where theyare wearing almost the exact same flowers as the ones Imade! Talk about perfect reference for my auctions.

I also have a recommendation.I just love Duffy and her lovely voice. (Up yours Amy!)My personal favorite song is "Mercy" but her style is sodarn immaculate in her new video "Stepping Stone".Watch and enjoy.

WHO IS MISS RASCAL?

I'm a Jewish dame from Sweden who got swept off my feet by a brown eyed handsome man (musician, of course) and ended up here in the UK almost 8 years ago. I'm obsessed with the 1940's
and 1950's, my home is filled to the brim with goodies from that era.
I design and create vintage style jewelry and accessories.
In my free time I'm a magpie, I really love scouting for vintage bargains. I do try to reduce my carbon foot print and spend as little as possible, therefore I rather buy vintage and second hand. This blog is my personal space where I write about my frugal lifestyle, finds and creations. Hopefully you will be inspired to do something creative too.
